This morning, our minds are drawn back to the beautiful, amazing, awe-inspiring nation of Chile, which was rocked by an 8.8-mag. earthquake in the early hours of today. So far, it sounds as though the death toll is low, surprisingly -- probably in great part due to the modernization and solid building structures found in the busy, busy capital city of Santiago. Our hope and prayer is that it remains that way and that the more humble, coastal towns like Coronel, Puerto Montt and Vina del Mar remain safe from the tsunami threat...

A look back @ Chile, from our cruise there last year.

Our friends traveled there far more recently. You ought to take a look at the Schmutz's photos while you're browsing...

Hasn't it been awful to see all the pictures of the destruction down there? Our beautiful Chile! What a long road it will be to fully recover from such an earthquake. So glad we both got to experience Chile pre-8.8 earthquake.
